Collection
Third molar impaction and oral lesions management
- Submission status
- Closed
BMC Oral Health is calling for submissions to our Collection on Third molar impaction and oral lesions management. This Collection seeks to examine the complexities of wisdom teeth and of complex surgery, shedding light on crucial aspects relevant to dental professionals, oral surgeons, researchers and patients.
Third molars, commonly known as wisdom teeth, have long intrigued dental practitioners and researchers due to their unique patterns of eruption and associated complications. Despite advancements in dental care, third molar impaction continues to be a challenging and recurrent issue.
Submissions can encompass a wide array of topics, including but not limited to:
• Etiology of third molar impaction, and of more widespread oral lesions: Unraveling the genetic, environmental, and anatomical factors contributing to wisdom tooth impaction.
• Diagnosis and imaging techniques: Exploring innovative diagnostic tools, imaging modalities, and their role in accurate assessment and preoperative planning.
• Impacted third molar management, and oral lesions surgical approaches: Presenting contemporary surgical techniques, non-surgical interventions, and interdisciplinary approaches for successful treatment outcomes.
• Complications and risk mitigation: Addressing potential complications arising from third molar impaction and outlining strategies for risk reduction.
• Investigating the relationship between impacted third molars and periodontal health, and alternative approaches to manage frequent oral lesions.
• Patient perspectives: Incorporating patient experiences and expectations into treatment decision-making.
• Innovations in wisdom: Showcasing cutting-edge research, new technologies, and potential future directions.
This collection supports and amplifies research related to Sustainable Development Goal 3: Good Health and Well-being. By addressing the challenges posed by third molar impaction, oral lesions, oral rehabilitations and seeking innovative solutions, this research can contribute significantly to improving oral health outcomes, enhancing the quality of life for patients, and promoting overall well-being within our global communities.
